Question
Do you know anything about this album being pressed in Santa Monica in 1964?  My album meets all other criteria listed at Eskimo.com, but the part about Santa Monica is unclear.  I cannot seem to find anyone who knows.  I would appreciate your knowledge and opinion.
Thank you,
       Susan

Answer
Introducing... The Beatles is the first Beatles album in the United States. Originally scheduled for a July 1963 release, the LP finally came out on 10 January 1964. It was the subject of much legal wrangling, but ultimately, Vee-Jay Records was permitted to sell the album until the fall of 1964, by which time it had sold more than 1.3 million copies. Vee-Jay Records was based in Chicago, but then moved to Santa Monica, that's why you heard that the album was pressed in Santa Monica!
Hope this helps.
